Why Steelers Insider Believes Team Is 'Definitely Better' After Massive Trade for Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith
- On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a fifth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for cornerback Jalen Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a seventh-round pick.
- Driven by Miami Dolphins' long-term cap concerns and contract negotiations, the Steelers pursued roster upgrades through a trade involving Ramsey and Smith.
- Following those motivations, Ramsey’s $26.6 million 2025 salary was restructured, Smith received a one-year $12 million extension, and draft pick swaps were included.
- This move bolsters the Steelers secondary, adds offensive firepower alongside Freiermuth, and frees nearly $10 million in 2025 cap space.
- More broadly, the Steelers' trade signals their aim for a deep playoff run in 2025, positioning them as serious AFC contenders.
